The German first league team Hoffenheim would like to bring in a new offensive player. After a long exploration of the possibilities, the opportunity to acquire Gifto Orban from French Lyon came up. Lyon are threatened with relegation to Ligue 2 (the second French league) due to financial problems. A few million from the sale of players could help to solve them.
Who is Gift Orban ?
Gift Orban is a 22 year old power forward who started his career in Stabæk, Norway. In the local league he managed to score 18 times in 23 games, which didn’t go unnoticed by the bigger clubs in Europe. One of these clubs was Gent in Belgium. He was only in Belgium or Gent for one year, after which his career skyrocketed. Finally, he moved to Olympique Lyon, where he has been ever since.
Gift Orban competition for Adam Hložek ?
Czech international Adam Hložek traded his Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen to Hoffenheim before the season. The 22-year-old Czech currently has 3 goals and an assist in 13 games. Which makes him the third top scorer of his team. He is only two goals behind the number one Andrej Kramaric. However, if we focus on the Lyon striker, he currently has only two goals in 3 games.
